Tracing the bafflements of ancient civilizations, sleeping beneath the stars with Bedouin nomads, and drinking in the cultural melting pot of Amman, Jordan’s captivating capital city. Expect platefuls of Mansaf served with juicy bulgur; thimble cups of nutty Bedouin coffee; and – if you’re lucky – some properly authentic zaarb – a marinated meat dish that we still have dreams about.

Top Locations in Jordan

If we were asked to choose our top three places in Jordan, we’d go for these.
Petra lost city ruins, Jordan

Petra

Take a step back in time to 300 B.C and enter the Lost City.

A city carved into orange sandstone cliffs and once a thriving center of trade, Petra in Jordan feels many worlds away. Alongside our guide Yosef, you’ll wind your way along the iconic Siq in Petra till you reach the Treasury – one of the city’s most elaborate temples. A long, narrow gorge with walls measuring 200 meters high, the Siq passage was once torn apart by tectonic forces leaving an eerie but breathtaking walkway to the Treasury. As camels sit proudly at the entrance to the hand-carved temple you can’t help but feel like you’ve walked onto the movie set of Indiana Jones.

Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan

Wadi Rum Valley

Transfer onto planet Mars in the moon-like valley of Wadi Rum.

Exploring the desert wilderness of Wadi Rum Valley is an experience that lingers in our Travel Experts memories for years. It’s a place where camel treks and hot air balloon rides take precedence in the day, and by night; a place to settle down at luxurious Bedouin desert camps. Picture authentic, candlelit dinner prepared by local chefs and stargazing at some of the world’s most magical skies; some surreal experienced if you ask us.

Dead Sea in Jordan

Dead Sea

Bask in the healing properties of the natural world.

This buoyant salt lake has earned its title as one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water. Bordered by Jordan on the east and Israel on the west, the Dead Sea is nestled at almost 434 meters below sea level making it the world’s lowest elevation on land. Home to some of the most unique water in the world, the Dead Sea is perfect for curious travelers who wish to float in the balmy water and slather on the salt for a therapeutic experience.
